This interesting update just appeared on PSC's facebook page:

http://www.pscgames.co.uk



It looks like PSC are moving into board games with a kickstarter and their first project is a new game based on Richard Borgs Command and Colours system (Memoir 44, Battlelore, Battlecry) set in WW1 called the great war. The game also includes hard plastic 15mm WW1 figures.





I've only recently got into Battlecry but it's a very good game so I'll probably be getting this. I doesn’t say if the figures will be made available separately, but we can certainly hope so and I’d be surprised if they weren’t. If so I'll be purchasing a few!

I'll be keeping my eye on this one, especially if they unlock those tank stretch goals.

That does look pretty cool. I enjoy Richard Borg's other games as well.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better.

This looks promising. The minis look great, and WWI seems well suited to this kind of board game.
